I see Barefootsies as more of a champagne and caviar kind of guy nowadays.

This is very true. Brooklyn and Queens have the best pizza I've ever tried.

My go to is a large pie with extra cheese, garlic, and sausage, well done from Carmine's Pizza Factory in Jersey City, New Jersey.

i don't think i could ever pick a favourite style no less a single place. too many styles i love to pick just one. thin crust, true italian style, chicago style, nyc style.. shit even windsor has a style (pretty much nyc but with shredded pepperoni) I even like my little pita pizza's I do at home, fun kids idea by the way.

only kind i really don't like is hawaiian... can't put fruit on there, just not right.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

I bought a pizza stone and get dough from the italian market, boom. fresh pizza at home.

Mike Piazza is probably the best Piazza.

If in NYC, go to Patsy's Pizzeria in East Harlem NY 117th St. & 1st Ave. Be warned that the other Patsy's in Manhattan license the name and are not anywhere near as good.

3 brothers on seaside boardwalk...the slices are about 3x the size of a normal slice of pizza

why do people buy dough? takes like 2 minutes to make. heh

I actually had to show my sister how to make it this weekend.

we got the best pizza here in NY.... even the worst pizza joints taste better than any place else...

Best pizza: NEW YAWK FUCKING SHITTY BABY!! Any corner.

Its pretty dam good too, reminds me of a good pizza I had at some small spot in Chicago

Dont you have to wait for it to rise?..takes time for that! Best to get it from the guy who makes 1000 a day and comes out perfect :thumbsup

If you get to Chicago, you're in a pizza wonderland. There are so many good choices that it can become bewildering. I wouldn't begin to rate them because they are all good, really good, in their own distinctive ways. New York Style, Chicago Deep Dish, Bakery Pizza, whatever, if you try them, you'll come away liking them all. I'm leaving out all of the artisan, Fine Arts Pizzas, I'll leave them for the hipsters unless I'm in a peculiar mood. At random, in no order, some of the places I like best:

*Pat's Pizza in the South Loop, phenomenal, crispy, thin-crust.
*Bacci, an enormous, gigantic New York style slice with a small drink for $5. All over the place.
*Lou Malinatti - Chicago Deep Dish, many locations all over, including Gold Coast.
*Grand Stand - actually Near West suburbs, Franklin Park, nearly perfect New York style.
*Barnaby's - Several local locations. It used to be a big, national chain and shrunk. Not really like any other thin-crust, but excellent in every way.
*Angelo's - A neighborhood place on the North Side, on Montrose. Awesome slices till midnight.
*Aurelio's - Local chain, lots of locations, uses sharp cheese for a tangy taste and offers a great lunch buffet with five kinds of pizza, pasta, chicken, salad, etc. Really good stuff.
*Burt's Pizza - One of a kind, in Skokie. You gotta make reservations to get in. Everything about this place is ideosyncratic and strange, including the operator, but it's a great Deep Dish Pizza from one of the guys who invented it at Gino's East. It's been on Anthony Bourdain No Reservations.
*Giordano's - Locations all over the place. Phenomenal. And if you like cheese, you'll get your money's worth. I think each pizza uses half a cow's daily output :-)
*D'Agostino's - Their pizza sauce is just unrivaled. Tangy, authentic. The location up North on Sedgewick made them famous, but they've branched out with a few other locations, all of them near live music.

awful seating amazing pizza

No doubt

Tony, if you ever get in the mood for something authentically Italian-American in Chicago, stop at D'Amato Bakery and Bari Deli, next to each other at the corner of Grand and May, pretty near the Loop. In the Bakery, you can get what's called "Bakery Pizza", square slices that Italian bakers make with leftover dough on long, rectangular pans, and what some call foccaccia and Sicilians call sfingiuni, thick bread pizza with minimalist toppings, some just tomato, others with artichoke heart, black olives, anchovies, etc. Not for everybody and best eaten at room temperature. They - and the ultrafresh canolli and authentic cookes, and the just-baked Italian bread are out of this world. In Bari, you will get the world's best Italian Subs, with imported meats and cheeses, made to order, for, like $4.25, beating the pants off chains like Subway or NJ Mike's in both taste and price - and you'll rub shoulders with some very interesting, very 007 guys, who will never, ever talk to you, but leave you with a very special memory of Chicago that will linger over the years. This is the heart of what we call The First Ward. I can't figure out how Bari does it for that price, but, hey, who am I to ask questions?

worst list of pizza places i've ever seen compiled

Ny pizza runs extremely hot and cold. I would say antico is as close to anything ive had in nyc and better then alot of them.

I've had pizza all across this earth.

Santarpio's and Pizza Regina in Boston are amongst the Top 3 I've ever tasted.
